I guess you don't expect any Conservative viewpoints to be expressed in the Political Science classes either?

Different political views expressed in a poli sci class (an art, not a science, BTW), is not the same thing as teaching a faith-based belief (ID) as a science.

BTW, I *go* to GMU

You made my point. If you can't tell the difference between scientific theory and faith-based belief, GMU owes you a tuition refund.

Differing "theories of politics" versus different "theories of science" is not, as you describe, teaching faith-based belief as a science, now is it? There is no indication that these classes are teaching ID as fact, but merely introducing it as one of the competing ideas present in the scientific literature. I ask again, what is the problem with presenting it as such?

You made my point. If you can't tell the difference between scientific theory and faith-based belief, GMU owes you a tuition refund.

And your condescention belongs in another category entirely.

If you are so sure of yourself that you're completely closed to even having the topic discussed, why do you feel compelled in lowering yourself to our meager level to sound off on your dictums? Would that not, by definition, be a waste of your infinitely-valuable time?
